1 Introduction The PCAN-MicroMod FD is a small plug-in board with CAN and CAN FD connection on the one side and various physical inputs and outputs on the other side. The logical linking of both sides is done by the microcontroller NXP LPC54618. With the MicroMod FD, electronics developers can easily integrate I/O functionality with CAN connection into their project.
Extended operating temperature range from −40 to 85 °C (−40 to 185 °F) 1.2 Operation Requirements Board with socket strips or hole grid for mounting the PCAN-MicroMod FD (Evaluation Board, motherboard from PEAK-System or self-development), see also Appendix C Dimension Drawings on page 33.
Computer with Windows 11 (x64/ARM64), 10 (x64) and a PC-CAN interface from PEAK-System (Recommendation: PC-CAN interface with CAN FD capability, e.g. PCAN-USB FD) 1.3 Scope of Supply PCAN-MicroMod FD plug-in board Optional: Pin adapter for 100 mil pitch Download Manual in PDF format...
2.1 Connectors The PCAN-MicroMod FD has two double pin rows (A, B) with 50 pins each (first column in the following tables). Thus, the MicroMod FD can be plugged onto boards with matching socket strips (50-mil/1.27-mm grid, see also Appendix C Dimension Drawings on page 33).
2.2 Circuitry For the basic operation of the PCAN-MicroMod FD, a minimal circuitry with the following components is required: Voltage supply 3.3 V DC CAN connection (CAN-High, CAN-Low) Pull-down for module ID inputs Feedback of the analog reference voltage Push button to ground for CAN flash mode (with pull-up resistor)
3 Operation 3.1 CAN Operating Modes PCAN-MicroMod FD products can be used in different operating modes with support for the communication protocols CAN (FD) or CANopen (FD), depending on firmware and model. Furthermore, the operation with custom firmware is possible as well.
3.1.1 Determining the Current Operating Mode (not applicable for custom firmware) You can determine the current operating mode of a device of the PCAN-MicroMod FD series with the Windows program PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration. For the prerequisites for using the program and for installation, see 4 Configuration on page 21.

(upper left) 3.3 Reserved CAN ID 7E7h For configuring a product of the PCAN-MicroMod FD series and for firmware upload, the 11-bit CAN ID 7E7h is used. The corresponding programs from PEAK-System exchanges data with the module via the CAN bus using this CAN ID. When designing your CAN network, make sure not to use the CAN ID 7E7h in any way.
